Chapter 708: Shen Ruojing’s Return!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Jing Zhen sneered at him, “Protect yourself? By allowing so many rcenaries to enter the country? Have you ever thought, with the current situation of the three armies, if these rcenaries start a massacre on our people, how will you stop them?!”
Jing Yi sighed, “It won’t happen. They are all lent to by the Karl family.
Royal Uncle, I’m really doing this for self-protection. Since the ministers suggested you to establish a new heir, you have been displeased with . I know you wish I was dead! You forced to do this!”
Jing Zhen.”!”
So ministers understood the situation, such as the one who had tried to commit suicide a week ago. He stepped forward and said, “Prince Jing Yi, how could you do this? Aren’t you handing the royal family’s leverage over to the Karl family? Our two families are supposed to have an equal partnership, but if you rely on them, how will our two countries interact in the future?”
Jing Yi looked at him. “We’ll deal with the future when it cos. Now, I just want to protect myself. I don’t want to die, and clearly, His Majesty the King has gone mad. Do you want to see another massacre? Like when the Queen Dowager executed mbers of the royal family? He’s her son! His heart is ruthless too!”
The minister hesitated but still said, “That’s impossible…”
“How is it impossible? When you tried to die, he didn’t stop you and even told you to go ho and die!” Jing Yi passionately looked at the old ministers, trying to persuade them. “Have you forgotten how His Majesty the King would occasionally beco furious when handling state affairs during this period? He doesn’t love Country A; he was forced to inherit the throne by the Queen Dowager! He never considered Country A his ho!”
Hearing these words, the ministers fell silent.
Jing Yi understood that they were convinced by him.
Jing Yi then looked at Jing Zhen. “Royal Uncle, your ti has co. Please abdicate!”
Jing Zhen only stared at him. He then looked at the rcenaries behind him and scoffed, “You think, with just these few soldiers, you can succeed in a rebellion?”
After hearing Jing Zhen’s words, Ji Wuyou imdiately stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, the royal guards surrounded Jing Zhen.
Although the royal guards were not as fierce as the rcenaries, in this situation, protecting His Majesty the King was not a problem!
Jing Yi sneered, “You think that as long as you protect yourself, everything is fine? I’ve already sent people to capture the Queen and the Queen Dowager!”
He knew that Jing Zhen would not comply obediently, so he prepared to threaten him with Shen Qianhui and Queen Dowager Yan.
But to his surprise, Jing Zhen only sneered, and a hint of relaxation appeared in his peach blossom eyes.
A sinking feeling ca over Jing Yi.
Sure enough, not long after, soone rushed in and ca to Jing Yi’s side, telling him that there were royal guards stationed where Shen Qianhui and Queen Dowager Yan were. Although their rcenaries were powerful, they couldn’t break through in a short ti…
Jing Yi’s eyes revealed anger.
Victory was within reach, but now they were facing trouble.
If they were in a standoff for too long, the three armies would receive the news and definitely co to the rescue. Then he would be finished.
Was there anyone else Jing Zhen cared about?
Jing Yi, with this thought, suddenly looked at a nearby minister. He quickly walked over, grabbed the minister who had previously wanted to commit suicide, and pointed a gun at his temple. “Your Majesty, if you do not issue an edict of abdication, I will kill him!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers present were stunned.
One by one, they looked incredulously at Jing Yi.
In their eyes, the gentle and refined Prince Jing Yi would actually resort to such ans?!
Everyone turned to look at Jing Zhen again, only to see the emperor they had assud to be tyrannical was now furrowing his brows, his gaze falling on them.
Jing Yi imdiately said, “Yes, if you delay for a minute, I will kill one person! They are all pillars of the state. The death of any of them would be highly detrintal to the current balance. So, do you agree or not?!”
Jing Zhen clenched his jaw.
Jing Yi imdiately raised his gun, aid at the minister, and was about to pull the trigger. “If you don’t agree, then these people’s deaths are on you!”
The ministers were terrified, their faces pale, but they knew their king wouldn’t save them… right?
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations…
“Alright, I will abdicate!”
The king they all thought wouldn’t care about them actually said these words.
All the ministers fell silent at this mont.
The old minister held captive by Jing Yi seed to be stunned too.
He looked up at His Majesty the King. The confrontational look in his eyes gradually softened, his eyes welling up. “Your Majesty, you don’t have to do this for …”
Jing Zhen waved his hand and sighed, “You are all elders who have dedicated your lives to Country A. How can I ignore your lives?”
The old minister was moved to tears. “Your Majesty, I misunderstood you, but I can’t let you compromise for my sake! I would rather die!”
After saying that, he imdiately struggled to hold Jing Yi’s hand, and as he prepared to pull the trigger to end his own life…
“Bang!”
A bullet flew in and hit Jing Yi between the eyes.
Imdiately after, a figure of heroic posture strode in, leading the chief commanders and the young captains of the three armies.
It was Shen Ruojing!
